SS 14 Friction World Cup Finals: Croatia Vs. United States

Kelly managed to get Nikolette to back off but not completely, for even in her retreat, the mechanic left Kelly with a hard parting gift as she lifted up Kelly's leg. "Waah!" Kelly pawed at the mat like she was hoping to grab something to keep her body from leaving it, but she didn't stop her lower body from getting lifted, resulting in her knee getting slammed to the mat.

"A-Agh!" She cried as her knee took the hit, the pain surging through it despite the padding, making Kelly curl up and hug her knee, keeping her ankle stiff because of how horrible it felt. Her whole right leg was in danger of becoming useless.

Kelly was on the mat, laying partly on her side when she sat up and raised her hands in front of her while looking up at Nikolette with a defeated look on her face "N-No more T-Tessla! H-Have Mercy!" Kelly pleaded as she lay wounded in front of Nikolette, keeping her hands up as she shook her head.

"I...I can't even stand... I can't fight like this! T-This is not an honorable way for me to lose! I cannot stand up!" She whined further as she groveled forward, clunching Nik's ankle and hugging it like she were begging for forgiveness from her king. Or Queen in this case.

"B-But I can't! Tessla you don't understand!" Kelly whined as she stood on her knees, tugging at the hem of Nikolette's worker pants as she looked up at the woman with pleading eyes, slowing raising her hand up Nik's abdomen, her bare fingers sliding up the mechanic's tight, muscular abdomen.

"T-Tessla~..." She whined again, giving her foe a pouting lip before suddenly raising her hand up to hastily give Nikolette a thumb to the eyes!

"Ha Ha!" Kelly cried as she struck Nikolette with a dastardly manuever! The dreaded thumb to the eyes! Such a dirty and underhanded technique following her ploy, the act earning her a wave of boos that were not divided in the slightest. The American crowd wanted an American to win, but at the same time watching a fan favorite like Nikolette be subject to underhanded tactics wasn't cool. The crowd would have loved for their country's representer to be win the right way.

Kelly wasn't keen on that though. Victory at any cost.

Seeing Nik a staggered state, Kelly reached up for the sides of the girl's head while the ref scolded her immeensly, warning her that she could be DQ'd if she tried shit like that again, but Kelly didn't listen, she instead only pressed on her attack by picking herself up slightly and position her head underneath Nikolette's chin before plopping back down onto her knees, trying to bash Nik's jaw down upon Kelly's skull for a jawbreaker!

Bashing Nikolette's jaw against her chin with an audible, teeth chattering impact, Kelly immediately grinned, sitting on her knees as she looked to the booing crowd around her, laughing. She couldn't deny how powerful and smart she felt, to fool Nikolette like that before hitting her hard enough to make her body react in such a way, her back bending as she went ragdoll. It was enough to send a shiver up Kelly's spine.

But no matter how satisfied she felt, it didn't stop the fact that her knee and ankle were jacked up, they were throbbing and aching, pulsating with pain, prompting Kelly to crawl back towards a corner, any corner, for both combatants were in the center of the ring anyway.

The ref girl was knelt down in front of Nik, asking if she was okay following the illegal eye-poke and jawbreaker. Meanwhile Kelly made her way to the corner and pulled herself up via the ropes, limping a bit on her one good left leg. From there, she turned her back to the duo and began to unravel the ropes that secured the top turnbuckle pad, unraveling it for a moment before she pulled it off and revealed the unprotected metal corner piece. Kelly then turned her back against it and slumped into the corner, waiting for Nikolette to stand back up, taking a moment to catch her breath as she waited, her chest heaving greatly as she waited patiently for her foe to stand up and come for her.

Slumped into the corner, Kelly saw her foe rise up to her feet and smile, Kelly smiled back but with a far more tired look in her eyes, she had been giving all she had to match Nikolette and had succeeded, but she needed to get ahead and it wouldn't be easy with a wounded leg.

But right on que, the mechanic came charging in towards her at full speed, her fists raised high above her head like she was wielding a sword and was ready to behead Kelly right there! But with a glimmer in Kelly's eyes, she grinned, seeing her chance, she kicked off the mat with her good leg at the last second to swipe to the side, turning her back into the ropes and gripping them tightly to hold herself up, keeping her left leg raised off the ground while she tried to lead Nikoette into her trap within the exposed turnbuckle!
